When my toddlers aren't throwing a tantrum, teething, sick, or sleeping, they're generally quite happy. Considering their left brains are hardly developed I give 'em credit for the slightest bit of control over emotion. Rain, snow, or shine they love to be outside. While I would like to sulk and pout that it was 45 degrees on May 20th the girls just want to swing and giggle. So, if you can't beat them... join them.
2. CURIOUSITY
Ask more questions! No one likes a know-it-all anyway. Here Maisie is onto a great discovery about her shoe...
3. PAJAMAS
It's okay if some days you leave the house in your pajamas. First of all, they are comfy. Secondly, it's Eco-friendly as that's one less outfit to wash. Thirdly, what invented standard says you have to always be put together? The same one that says you have to shower every day? Please.
4. HUGS
Give more hugs. Even if it's not the cultural norm (I'm looking at you Wisconsin). Case closed.
5. READ
Even if you don't understand what you're reading, keep reading. (Books... Not bachelorette blogs Emily.)
6. DONUTS
There's no shame. Just eat more. And always offer to others.
7. WAVE
Wave to everyone. Whether you know them or not. (Also don't lose track of your other tiny human in the woods.)
8. FRIENDSHIP
Makes the mundane better. Never mind they are just pushing peas into corners and crevices and let's be honest probably will eat as a snack later. I'll leave you with this quote from the great songwriter/philosopher/cultural icon Michael W. Smith, "Friends are friends forever."
